Brooks: A Bystander On The Inside

By David Brooks | November 6, 2013

“Why do you think you’re here?” Two students filming a documentary on student veterans asked me this in a recent interview. All student veterans have asked each other the same question when contemplating our place at Dartmouth.

Miller: Abroad And At Play

By Jon Miller | November 4, 2013

Before the start of fall term, I traveled to Asia for the first time to visit my friend and former roommate in China. The trip was very eye-opening and provided me with the opportunity to see a variety of people, places and cultural elements that I had never experienced. I spent time with students on the Beijing language study abroad program and interacted with them without actually being part of the group, as a sort of third party observer.

Yang: A Well-Placed Appeal

By Lorelei Yang | November 4, 2013

In a surprising op-ed for The Wall Street Journal this Sunday, usually apolitical Apple CEO Time Cook urged Congress to approve the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, which up to now has received tepid public support. The proposed bill, currently under review by Congress, would protect workers from discrimination and termination as a result of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Beechert: Got A Light?

By Michael Beechert | November 3, 2013

The New York City Council, with the full backing of soon to be former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, enacted a bill that would raise the legal age for purchasing cigarettes to 21 within city limits. Considering the anti-smoking measures that the city has already adopted during Bloomberg’s reign, this newest effort comes as little surprise.

Shaw: Racism At Dartmouth

By Yesuto Shaw | November 3, 2013

Cries of Dartmouth being a racist institution have rung out loudly in my time as a student here. Open acts of racism have certainly occurred and cannot be ignored, but there are some who respond to these incidents by accusing the whole campus of being complacent in the mistreatment of students of color. This has left many well-intentioned white students confused about their role in the oppression that certain students feel, as well as confused about what they can actually do to help.

Albrecht: Dreading Distributives

By Emily Albrecht | October 31, 2013

Many people tout Dartmouth as one of the best schools in the country. In order to be accepted, students have to have shown an intense dedication to all of their studies throughout their prior education.

Wheeler: The Need To Be Seen

By Katie Wheeler | October 28, 2013

It is no secret that students have an unhealthy obsession with what we have aptly termed “facetime.” We say that the desire to be seen can influence where we sit in the library, where we eat in FoCo, where we go to socialize, whom we hang out with and, most interestingly, our activity on social media.

Bishop: Loving Blackness

By Jalil Bishop | October 28, 2013

White supremacy is not just about evil people running around in white hoods overtly terrorizing communities — we have to move beyond this Boogeyman characterization to understand racism today.
